AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Ben and Martin the idols of Queensland's corporate highflyers and wannabes have built their corporate empire - Suncollect - into a jewel in the Smart State crown. But the death of their one time backpacking companion Harry plunges Ben into an identity crisis which starts the corporate raiders circling. Has their luck run out? Can their crash or crash-through attitude save them this time? Attend Harry's funeral and back to the corporate battlefield. Easy. But from beyond the grave, hidden truths begin to unravel. Who was to blame for what happened to Harry? Was Claire, the enigmatic French arts student Ben's soulmate? Or did he fall in love with a part of himself he didn't know existed? In a deeply personal twist, Ben's attempts to rekindle his romance with Claire see him discover some startling truths about what really happened on that backpacking tour of France so many years ago.'
